It's become as traditional as regretful cardigans, revengeful relatives and the general sad-faced stout-bellied post-Christmas fudge. Never fear, Pandamonium '15 is soon here, with fierce panda records and Club Fandango and Disorder Promotions and some cheeky friends uniting forces to shine some light on the New Year gigging scene, as they have been doing since making some calendar space in 1999.
The venues are small and cool. The bands are cool and small. The nights are young, the mood is mellow and there is music in our ears. True, Pandamonium '15 is actually - and shamefully - starting a day late due to the permanent closure of the Buffalo Bar on New Year’s Eve, thus removing our scheduled home for Tuesday January 6th. The other shows however must go on, and go on they will, very much like this:

Thursday February 26th Charing Cross Road Borderline
fierce panda & Club Fandango present
LONGFELLOW + THE HOSTS + SPECIAL GUESTS
A night of authentic alt.pop palavers with Longfellow meditating upon the epic delights of their ‘Medic’ single (out on January 12th) and impending ‘Remedy’ EP. Top support comes from Sheffield retromantics The Hosts, whose ‘Softly, Softly’ album still rings so very loud and so very clear.
